The Empty Quatrain

Title:     The Empty Quatrain
Author: Henry Van Dyke [More Titles by Van Dyke]

A flawless cup: how delicate and fine
The flowing curve of every jewelled line!
Look, turn it up or down, 'tis perfect still,--
But holds no drop of life's heart-warming wine.

[The end]
Henry Van Dyke's poem: Empty Quatrain
